Tap Room at Six

History-

The Tap Room at Six is located in Austin’s Warehouse District. This part of downtown Austin was known as “Guy town” the largest red-light district in the Southwest at the turn of the nineteenth century. Numerous gambling establishments, opium dens, and brothels operated in this part of town. Legislators and UT students frequented this seedier part of Austin during the late 1800’s. The owners decided to create an atmospheric addition to the restaurant called the B Side Bar, where patrons could sit on comfortable couches amid red velvet-draped walls.

Ghosts-

In 1996, the owners of the Tap Room discovered a basement running beneath their restaurant and a building housing the reportedly haunted Old Spaghetti Warehouse. It is believed that this basement was used as a speakeasy featuring bootleg alcohol, prostitutes, and gambling during the 1920’s. Sightings that have occurred are a strange mist in the corner of the basement and chairs moving around.
